Discussion

To understand the pattern of calls between the debug engine (DE) and the session debug manager (SDM), the following represents the calling order of the events that occur in a typical debugging session:

  1. Attaching and detaching to a program

  2. Launching the debugger

  3. Terminating a program

  4. Creating a breakpoint

  5. When a breakpoint binds or becoming unbound

  6. Breakpoint errors

  7. Hitting a breakpoint

  8. Deleting a breakpoint

  9. Entering break mode

  10. Stepping in break mode

  11. Expression evaluation in break mode

  12. Exception handling
